  For Michele, On Her Birthday

  
  About Now, Each Year,
  Snow Packs Down to Greyest Ice
  It Says “Late Winter”

  But I am Thinking
  Early Spring, Listening for
  The Crane’s First Calling

  Seeking the First Buds
  On Bare Tree Limbs, and All the
  Day’s Green Potential

  When Winter Won’t End
  When Even the Whitest Snow

  Ripples From a Pebble Dropped
  In a Summer Pond
